Hope people can see Simms is doing well despite the formation and game plan stacked against him. Really crying out for a ball playing CM, so frustrating

Ayari is such a strange signing. Did anyone actually watch him play?
Saka at least gives us some energy and a bit of a threat.

 

[mark82]

How's he given us a foul for dasilva slipping

Sky is obviously miles behind. You're way ahead of me.

 

[Nick]

How is their number 10 muscling all our players?

 

[Grendel]

Right, so not in the context of the game or as a reflection on the performance of the players he might replace but because he cost a lot. Sunken cost fallacy. I’m sure he’ll come on at some point but he isn’t going to solve any of the very clear problems we have in this specific game.

Hes allegedly got pace - Hyam is playing the line high and he and Simms together could be effective

 

[fernandopartridge]

The regression from last season is alarming

To be fair it wasn't champagne football last season either, we just had match winners

Think he’s taking the piss mate

I mean it’s clear tonight what the issue is

 

[robbiekeane]

maybe not

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If you look at our side on paper this performance is about the level you’d expect tbf.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Time to bring Wright on for Godden?

I would also like to see Saka on, although I'm not sure who for without weakening us defensively. Ayari?

 

[Seymour_East]

Give ayari a chance. He's young and new to club. Just come on when wouldn't expect too. Sure robins will be trying to organise everyone for second half

Can’t believe you said that, if you’re on the bench then you should ALWAYS be expecting to come on and be hungry to stay on

That’s a spot on point. 2 players made a massive difference

 

[Nick]

Great save from their keeper

I thought it was excellent at times, Hamer, Vik and Callum were class. We didn’t get where we did being toothless .

 

[Nick]

You know if he speaks to players he's giving them a free kick from a corner

 

[Grendel]

Thomas is more effective attacking corners than defending them

 

[Macca]

Let’s be honest this is a poor side this year. Might just have to be happy with getting another go next year

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Do not tell me Eccles is injured

 

[Tommo1993]

22,370. Disagree.

 

[Covstar]

Bobby Thomas unlucky there with his shot hitting the bar!

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Attacking players need to give some options so we don't have to go backwards on throws.

this is absolutely woeful

 

[skyblueiom]

Simms just seems so powder puff for a big bloke and I don’t see a great deal of effort or aggression. Wouldn’t be taking godden off, he’s been by far the better of the two

 

[mark82]

Terrible football this.

 

[Nick]

Wright coming on

Not sure the ball has been close to either.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Well the reality is the not signing of CM players has really been a lesson.

 

[covcity4life]

Wright coming on. Can't see it being anyone other than Simms he comes on for though

 

[Finham]

Maybe the night time...is The Wright Time?

 

[fernandopartridge]

I thought we might get away with the non procurement of a midfielder but it looks like I was wrong

They have 4 up front

True. We couldn't have expected Allen, Sheaf, Kelly and Palmer to all be injured though could we.

Been a bit of an overlap of course, but all 4 have been injured in quick succession.

 

[Nick]

Like for like changes.

Is binks injured?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Worlds most predictable subs?
